At the same time, he had a precise and meticulous love for detail, for rich and exact language, and so all of his inventions are set in a very concrete world with real form and action.? ?Italo CalvinoBaron Lamberto is very old, very rich, and very sick. He lives in a villa on a private island in the middle of Lake Orta, tended to by his trusty butler, Anselmo, who keeps track of the baron?s 24 maladies, 24 banks, and endless eccentricities.After a mysterious trip to Egypt, the baron hires six people to take up residence in the attic of his villa. Their only task? To repeat his name, ?Lamberto, Lamberto, Lamberto,? throughout the day. Why? It?s anyone?s guess, but?wonder of wonders?Baron Lamberto does appear to be getting better and better, little by little, day by day.But trouble looms when Lamberto?s nefarious nephew Ottavio enters the scene, scheming up a way to get his hands on the baron?s fortune.

RODARI, GIANNI. Telephone Tales. Illustrated by Valerio Vidali ; translated from the Italian by Antony Shugaar. New York: Enchanted Lion Books, 2020, second printing, 202pp., . A collection of nearly seventy short and surreal stories told by Signor Bianchi, a traveling salesman, to his daughter over the telephone nightly., Every night, at nine o'clock, wherever he is, Mr. Bianchi, an accountant who often travels for work, calls his daughter and tells her a bedtime story. Set in the 20th century era of pay phones, each story has to be told in the time that a single coin will buy. One night, it's the story of a carousel so beloved by children that an old man finally sneaks on to understand why, and as he sails above the world, he does. The next night, it's a land filled with butter men, roads paved with chocolate, or a young shrimp who has the courage to defy expectations and do things differently. Reminiscent of Scheherazade and One Thousand and One Nights, Gianni Rodari's Telephone Tales is composed of many stories within a story. Each is set in a different place and time, with unconventional characters and a wonderful mix of reality and fantasy. Awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1970, the late Gianni Rodari is widely considered to be Italy's most important children's author of the 20th century. (Rodari passed away in 1980). Gorgeously illustrated by Italian artist Valerio Vidali?, these stories entertain with wit, surprise, and imagination. ISBN 9781592702848 32.00.…
